Dewberry Farms

We went to Dewberry Farms in Brookshire.
Well worth the hour and half drive and $36 dollars to get in.


Brooklyn played in Little Farmville on the small roller slide.





We then walked through the 8 acre corn maze.

As we walked through the maze Brooklyn would say, "I want to go the Left." And then she would promptly walk to the right! She would not move past this point because she wanted to go that way - Never mind that "that way" was a circle we had already walked around TWICE!




We tried talking pictures at the 8 acre pumpkin patch, but being the last weekend before Halloween the pumpkins were pretty much picked through when we got there.

 
We did find one pumpkin to take home. A 17-pound er that cost $8.50.
We got tired of carrying the pumpkin and had to use the stroller to carry it!
 
We then took a tractor ride in Cow-Barrels. The barrels had horns and tails, and we curved all through a pasture for about 4 minutes. It was dusty, but worth it!

 
We then found the "Big Kids" Roller Slide. I helped Brooklyn and Harley make the trek down the slide. Harley cried the entire way down.
 
My little girl is now 3 feet and 2 inches tall!
 
Farmer Pops and Gigi, were tending the farm!
 
Of Course, if there is pony ride, Brooklyn has to ride it! We paid $5 to ride around a circle 5 times.

 
 Oh, Well.... This was all worth it! I really enjoyed spending the day with my family and the kiddos! Only wish our hubbies and brother could have been there!

YMCA Fall Festival

Today, we went to the Fall Festival at the YMCA. We met Jackson for a little Fall Fun. However, it was anything but fun. Here are a few of the moments in which Brooklyn wasn't crying!
 
At first, she wanted to go INSIDE at the Y. She didn't want to play on the blowup slide, she wanted to dress up like Cinderella and Belle just like she does everyday when we go to workout.


 
 
Then she started crying because she wanted a snowcone and then because she didn't want a snowcone. She wanted to go down the slide, and then she didn't want to go down the slide. It was the most miserable 45 minutes I have ever spent in my life. Poor Rachel and Jackson had to listen to her crying the entire time. Needless, to say...NAP TIME, was definitely needed!!!

Great Wolf Lodge

We took a weekend trip to THE GREAT WOLF LODGE in Grapevine, TX with Jarod, Rachel, Jackson, and Baby Shay!



After a 4 1/2 hour car ride, Brooklyn couldn't wait to brush her teeth. She wouldn't put her tooth brush up! 

The hotel had an Arcade, so we had fun riding small ride and playing games to win tickets.



This was a virtual ride, where the chair move as the game moves. It was hilarious to listen to them both make sounds as the video bounced along.

Each night after dinner they have story time!



 Here are a few pictures of the water park. Brooklyn loved riding on the slides and standing under a huge bucket that dumped a ton of water!!!


Jackson got a wand and we went on a Magic Quest Adventure. We had to walk up and down the stairs and all around the hotel to find this magic pictures of statues. We had fun at first and then we all started to get cranky and eventually gave up!





On Sunday, we stopped at Lego Land. We watched a 4D video called SpellMaster and played with all the legos.

They have even created a replica of the city of Grapevine-Dallas, complete with the Great Wolfe Lodge and Cowboy stadium. 


Brooklyn had so much fun!
